Questions & Answers about Revisamos la tarjeta de sustitución.

What form is revisamos?

Revisamos is the first-person plural form of revisar, so it means we review / we check / we inspect.

A very important point: this form can mean either:

• present tense: we review / we check
• preterite past: we reviewed / we checked

For regular -ar verbs, the nosotros form is the same in the present and the preterite:

• revisamos = we review or we reviewed

So you need context to know which one is meant.

Why isn’t nosotros included?

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

Here, -amos shows that the subject is we. So:

• Revisamos la tarjeta de sustitución.
• Nosotros revisamos la tarjeta de sustitución.

Both are grammatical, but the version without nosotros is more natural in many situations.

You would usually add nosotros only for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

Why is there la before tarjeta?
